Digital infrastructure that works for everyone
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) provides shared digital foundations that allow people, governments and businesses to access and deliver services securely. These foundations can include digital identity, payments, data exchange and verifiable credentials.
But successful DPI is about more than technology. It must work for people with different devices, connectivity.
The Challenge
Inclusion
Can everyone actually access and use the system?
Affordabilty
Can countries and people participate at sustainable cost?
Interoperability
Can systems work across institutions and borders?
Capacity
Can countries develop and maintain DPI without excessive vendor dependence?
Trust & Security
Can systems protect people against fraud, misuse and emerging AI threats?
Useful Services
Can digital foundations translate into services people actually use?
Why AI4DPI?
AI4DPI turns these challenges into a regional research agenda.
We research, build, test and share open approaches that governments, researchers and technology communities can inspect, adapt and improve.
Why AIT?
A neutral academic platform for regional innovation
The Asian Institute of Technology brings together expertise in AI, engineering, digital systems, policy and development with a long-standing regional mission. AIT provides AI4DPI with an independent platform where governments, universities, researchers, developers and development partners can jointly investigate DPI challenges without tying the research agenda to a particular vendor or technology.
